OUR JAPANESE VISITORS ARRIVAL OF THE JAPANESE EMBASSY. Governor Cooke's Welcome Address — Iwakura’s Response—Personel of the Embawy— Their Quarters at the Arlington—Other Inter- esting Particalars. Japanese embassy arrived in this city by a! train about halt-past one o'clock this afternoon. The party were in the Pullman thorgh cass which run from New York to Chi. cago, known fespectively as the “ Pennsylva- ys “Alleghany,” “Fort i Waverly.” There were in wait- depot Mr. Mori, Japanese charge ‘Toyama and Nauva, secretaries; Ti- » clerk; ‘Tea and Hatakeyama, students spe from New Englana: Jun e Chirow Kodama, law studen in ducge Fisher's office, and other Ja- Gov.

Keyes & Co. had 2) carriages and 2 large omnibusses ready to take the embesy to the hotel. Lieut. John F. K lly. Sergeant Clements and a posse of offi- cers were also present to keep them from beii apo There was considerable delay in disembarking, ard while waiting for the movements of the d gnitaries several of the students and othe n the train to greet their triends and tives. The visitors generaily appeared in go spirits. and, as may be supposed, the conversa- between them and the Americanized stu- donuts was rathcr animated. THE PRINCESSES, five in number, appeared to keep their conver- sation to themselves, but their eyes were not in- active—every movement about the depot w watched by th Only one was dressed in any portion of the native costume. The eldest was diesed in black cloth, cut much like the present style in this city, but without the immense panier worn on the avenue, and were a small black hat set on the front part of her head. The other princesses were dressed in dark stuff. and wore red plaid shawls, Leav- ing the cars as they did before the remainder of the party, they passed through the crowd at- tracting but little attention, the assemblage not knowing who they were. About 2:15 p. m. Iwakura, with sevoral ot his suite, left the car, escorted by Mr. Mori, and roceeded to the ladies’ saloon, where Governor Cooke and others were in waiting to receive them, and baving taken a position in front of the Governor, Mr. Mori introduced Governor Couke to the Minister and suite. GOY. COOKE’S WELCOME ADDRESS. ‘The Governor took each one cordially by the hand, after which he addressed Mr. Iwakura as follows: I take very great pleasure in extending to you and your associates a hearty and sincere welceme to the capital of this country. I trust that your visit here may not only able to you, personally, but that it may result in closer tits and more intimate relations be- tween our two countries. I extend to youon behalf of the citizens of the District its cordial hospitalities. 1 have now the pleasure of intro- ¢ucing to sou Gen. Myers, of the army.who has heen Intrasted with the pleasant duty of pro- viding for your comfort during your visit; and I beg also to present Gen. Chipman, the repre- tive of this District in the Congress of the * a This address was interpreted by Mr. Mori, and Generals Myers and Chipman took each mem- ber of the embassy by the hand. IWAKURA'S RESPONSE. Mr. Iwakura responded as follows, (Mr. Mori interpreting:)—I thank you kindly tor your Temarkhs and kind expressions, aud have no doubt but the seatiments expressed will be appreciated and reciprocated. Iam very glad ai having arrived safe, and having met with no accident. I have been informed by Mr. Mori that you have been here some time awaiting a I thank you very much for taking and I teel very much impressed by bis recept ‘The party then retired, and, taking the car- riages assigned them, were soon on the way to the Arlington. The servants of the Minister and suite, with their small baggage, took the cmnibures, ‘There are in the party several small and sprightly looking boss, who appeared to be much interested in what was taking place. ARRIVAL AT THE ARLINGTON. The Emhassy arrived at the Arlington in car- Tiages, about 3 o'clock, and at one proceeded to the apartments assigned them, Mr. Iwakura, accompanied by Mr. Mori, Charge d’ Affairs in Washington, with several of the other principal members, entered at the Johnson house en- trance, while the remainder of the Embassy came in by the main entrance, and were immediately shown to their rooms. Gover- nor Gooke aud General M: came with the Embassy, but left a few moments after. Prior to hix departure Mr. Mori said to the go: tinor that Iwakura desired to express to him his sincere thanks for their courteous reception. The members of the Embassy will remain guiet- ly at their rooms to-day, and to-morrow will be Officially presented to the President. QUARTERS OF THE EMBASSY. During their stay in Washington the members of the Embassy will occupy as their Squarters that part of the Arlington known as the John- son House and the two buildings opposite, on Vermont avenue. The roomsset apart for the oceupan: y of the Embassy number about sixty, and cach one has been furnished with a special view to the comfort and convenience of itsoceu- Pants. General Wm. Myers, of the Quarter- master's department, who was spegjally detailed by the President to provide for the accommoda- tion of the embassy during their visit in Wash- gton, accompanied by Mr. Mori, Japanese Charge d’Atiairsto the United State, visited the Arlington last evening and inspected the apart. ments prepared tor the Embassy. They ex. pressed themselves greatly pleased with the arrangements. | ‘The large reception room ot the Johnson Howse is —handsom ly decorated with flags and festoons of everzreens. Over the large mirror above the mantle the Japanese flag is conspicuously displayed, while American flags are draped around the room. On the center table was placed a monster boquet of the rarest flowers, which filled the room with @ delicious fragrance. In the center of this boquet was.a Japanese lily, which was at once recognized by the members of the Embassy as 4 flower indigenous to taeir native soil. The boquet was @ present Mrs. Grant to Mr. Iwakura. Junior Prime Minister and Ambassador Extraordinary, and was culled from the conservatory of the White House. Opposite the general reception room is anoth-r smaller reception room. to which private dining reoms are attached. These rooms are likewise clegantiy fitted up and handsomely with evergreen festoons. The bed-room of kura, which is about fifty by thirty feet in di mensions, ison the second fleor, Vermont’ avenue. mainly upho! some, In all three of the the Embassy the doors by the principal members are om aa characters with pant.

Satsuma having re- bred from office, Iwakura, as the vice- pr: i y,1s one of the highest personage in the empire.’ His visit confers the same degree of honor from Japan as the visit mn person of the Premier of Great Britain would confer from that power. PERSONNEL OF THE JAPANESE. Although the Japanese and their retinue come principally from Yeddo, or its immediate vi cinity, there isa singular variety in their physi- ognomy. Physically considered, they are sma!l, rately exceeding five feet eight inches, in height, but symmetries ly formed. In their igh, square nose ight, or slightly aquiline, and the mouth a chin aelieate'y curved and 0 All have blac! eves, black, straight ustial Oriental complexion Nearly a bright, intelligent look, and all show a quickness of apprehersion traly remarkab ‘he entire retinue are clothed in Emopean style of dress, A few of embassy speak a little English, wh they learned in Japan, or in English schoo!s which they have before attended. One of the most distinguished of the adults is Yamala, Briga General of the Japanese . who is said to have won more battles than any Amer- ican general. THE YOUNG LADIES. The five young misses who form a part of the retinue are related to some of the noble tamilies of Japan. None of them speak a word of Eng- lish. Their names and ag lows: Miss Ouyeda, aged 16; M i, aged iss Vawagawa, aged i, aged nd Miss Fezda, aged 8, neir mission is to be educate: return to Japan to assist in rr wall flowers to s Japanese young ladies were to accompany the embassy, a reat many offers have been recei: japanese legation in this city from he seminaries and others in different parts of the Union, to take them in and educate them. are consigned to the care of Mr. Mori, and will rhaps be sent nextsummerto Mount Holyoke, jass. For the first few months they will be entertained at private houses in and will be under the super: wife of Mr. Charles Lanman, of the Japanese legation. MINISTER DE LONG'S NEGOTIATIONS AND Posi- TION. Mr. De Long accompanies the expedition. He goes along in his capacity as United States Min- ister, having no connection with this Mission But there are several reasons to consider the de- cision he has come to in accompanying it a wise one. The formation of the Mission is due to a suggestion made to the Japanese government as far back as May last by Mr. De Long; secondly, in the teeth of consi¢ yposition from Lrother Mimsters he has succeeded in inducing the Japanese to visit America first, the utmost importance to American in the future that the Embassy be tavor: pleasurably impressed by what they se treatment they receive in the first cout visit—a result which cannot but be f: by the presence, at their tirst int the United States Minister; utmost importance to the when the rev that, of the treaty between this country and Japan comes on the trpis, there shall be some one present who will be able, frem personal experience, to advise the State Department as to the requirements and neeessi- ties of United States residents in Japan, FUTURE MOVEMENTS OF THE EMBASSY. The Ambassadors purpose visiting only those countries with which they have diplomatic re- lations. From San Francisco a small detach- ment were sent to the Sandwich Islands, after a Nery brief glance at which they will rejoin. the main body before the time of departure from New York for Europe. From America the Em- bassy will go to England; thence, successively, to France, Prussia, Russia, Sweden, Denmar! . a, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Spain and Portugal; starting homeward imme: diately after from Marseilles or Brindisi. is the present programme, but it is possible that it may undergo some modifications on the way. & GIFT TO THE POOR OF CHICAGO. Just before leaving for the east, Tuesday eve- ping, the Japanese Embassy presented Mayor Medill with the sum of $5,000 for the poor of Chicago. oe eee Representatives Maynard, Wallace, Clark and Hill, called on the President this morning. Feawxuin J. Tepvorp and Thomas Davison, clerks in the Internal Revenue Bureau, have resigned to enter into business in New York. REPAIRING THE [RON-CLADS.—Orders have been issued by the Navy Department to thor- oughly overhaul and repair a number of { clads now lying at the different navy-yards. Tux ResiGNations of John D. Pope, United States district attorney for Georgia, and Corne- lius Hedger, United States district attorney for Montana, have been received. THE SOUTRERN CLAIMS COMMISSION yester- Gay heard the cases of Harvey Bailey and Kob- ert Dyer, both of Artington, Virginia, amount- ing to over $6,000. Jvper McKean, of Utah, arrived in this city last night to consult with the Attorney General relative to his judicial course in the Mormon trials. NAVAL ORpERS.—Midshipman Nathan Sar- gent bas been ordered to the Canandaigua. Lieut. Benjamin Long Edes and Master E. C.

The bill introduced in the House of Represen- tatives by Mr. Starkweather on the 224 of Jan- wary, contir: g the action of the authorities of the District of Columbia in designating a depot site for the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company, was referred to the Committee on the District ot Columbia. It provides “that the Baltimore and Petomac raiiroad shall have the right to extendits track from Virginia avenue along 6th *trect and across the cana! to the open grounds between 6th street, B street, and the canal, and to occupy said grounds for depot and railroad purposes, as authorized by the city councils of Washington: Provided, however, That ifat any time a park shall be established, includ ing 6th street, said railroad along 6th street shal! be so adapted to the park avenues, either by tunnels or bridges, as the Board of Public Works may direct, as not materially to interfere there with; and that said 6th street from the canal to einsylvania avenue shall at all times be kept ‘and in good repair by said railroad com: rthe bill was referred, Mr. John president of the Baltimore and Ohio pany, requested that h tified when it whould be considered by the com i order that he might appear before Thomas A.

Mr. Garrett wa- ompanied by his private secretary, Mr. Potts iby Mr. Randolph, chief engincer of his road. The committee was called to order, Mr. El- dridge acting as chairmai Mr. Eldridge, after stating the object of the meeting, asked who desired tospeak on the sub- Ject. Mr. Garrett said he preferred to hear the dis cussion before making any remarks himseii His object was to do all in his power for the in- terests of the people ef Washington. COL. SCOTT EXPLALNS. Col. Thomas A. Scott read the bill, and said that in itselt it wasa very simple one. Some- thing over a year ago the city councils of Wash- ington gave the Baftimore aad Potomee Baik road Company the rights asked fur by the bill He then read the act of the councils conferring that right upon the company, and said they now aeired, the sanction of Congress. They had already received from Congress the right to bring their rond into the ev'y, and he beueved that the intereets ot both the citizens of Wash- i and the company would be benefited by pot there. The Baltimore and Potomac ilroad Company had expended between four and five millions of dollars between Baltimore and the south bank of the Potomac. Mr. Eldridge.—I have heard objections on the part of citizens on account of the bad effect a depot there would h TRE PROPOR! = Colonel Scott said that the bill provided that it should not interfere with the proposed park, and exhibited a profile showing how the road could be carried under the pack by tunnels. He reterred to cases in Philadelphia where th- ds passed directly through and crossed parks aud avenues therein—some under them by tun- nels and some over them by bridges. He thought there would be no difficulty about conforming the railroad track to the plan of the park. The company had already expended half a million of dollars pon their road within the city, and was now expending over a million and a half in Bal- timore. He did not ask this city for a dellar, and did not ask Congress for any aid. All they wanted was the right to accommodate tue peo- le. WN ym. ROSWELL NEPORE THE COMMITTER. Mr. F. A, Boswell said he appeared defore the committee as the representative of the prop- erty-holders whose property would be injared; this track occupying 6th street, which street was but 100 feet wide. The property interests upon each side of the street would be damaged. The bill giving the company the right to erect a depot on Virginia avenue was passed by Con gress first and got through the eity councils af- terwards. The bill now before the committee was introduced in the city councils and rashed through without the ‘consent of the property- holders. The property given to the company by the bill was worth to the city 390,00, and an annual rental of about 3,000 had been re- ceived for it. The bill, however, gave it to the company without ayy compensation whatever. B street was not widé, and it was impracticable to establish a depot there. He expected his friend Scott was atter getting bis depot to front on Pennsylvania SVERNO. solooate eas Col. Scott.—Our purpose is to locate our yt fronting on B street, running parallel with @th street. Mr. Boswell then presented A PETITION OF PROPERTY-HOLDERS against the passage of the bill. Gen. Chipman inquired what effect the depot cted on Virginia now authorized cons! avenue would have upon the new school build: beg Phyeed being erected? r. Roosevelt thought the school would not be damaged any more than it is at present. Two or three tracks were alreadv laid in front of it. Col. Scott said he would like to ask the gen- peeps = Roosevelt) Le, as te the value of the property now about B street, and the canal, used as lumber and coal yards. It would be worth three times the money it is now worth after the railroad is put down. If the B street property be taken tor a depot, all the pro. perty between it and Virginia avenue would be = ef increased in value. The —_ talked about railroads coming inte ci Look at Philadelphia; there they had eight roads bare the city all run prema Mr. Harmer inquired of Col. Scott how many tracks he proposed to lay on 6th street? Col. Scott stated that it was their intention to lay two tracks occupying the space of 24 feet. ‘The « epot was to be @ passenger one, and not freight depot. WHAT GARRETT SAID. Mr. John W. Garrett said he was very happy that this subject was one to be considered by Congrese. A new era was about being devel- oped in Washington in connection with the rail- way system of the country. ‘The Baltimore and Vhio railroad would probably in afew months open its metropolitan branch, by which travel between this city and Pittsburg would be short- ened 70 miles, and from Cincinnati 120 miles. The entire nor! Lg would have the advant of this economy in distance, and the effect of opening that line would be to make the national capital the objective it of most af the trave! coming east. More than twenty years ago the Ba timore and Ohio Railroad Company located its station on Pennsylvania avenue, but the ob- jection of the citizens and popular feeling was so — against it bei that the company yielded to the wishes of the cit and changed the k of the to t site, and erected the present building. donbt-man; members of the commitice remembered the pot.

He said this rule had worked well in his state, (Maine,) and had received the appro bation of the judges. He wanted the sense of the Senate upon it. Mr. Morton said there were protests from the south against this bill, as, if passed, it would enable a certain setof criminals ip that section (kuklux) to swear that they were guiltless of the acts charged upon them. The bill was then placed on the calender. Mr. Trumbull, from the same committes. re ported bill to protect purchasers of land sold for Bon-payment of direct taxes in the late insur rectionary states, and asked its present con sideration, but Mr. Johnston objected, and it went over.

We have no objections to Con- grees giving Mr. Garrett a dozen squares, all we ask is v in the pamphlet, expressing his astonishment that they should have sent such documents. Mr. Chandler said upon examining the doen- | ment he found it to be a call fora national liberal republican convention at Cincinnati, Ma: ndorsed by Gov. Gratz Brown, C J.D. Cox and others. Mr. ©. then | pronounced his frank on this document to be a | forgery.

Scott.—There ir not more than enough for a single depot. Ip an gnginecting point of view no line interferes with the public conve- nience so little as ours. Mr. Garrett. Mr. Scott is €ntirely mistaken as to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company taking any stock in the National Junction road Gov. Cork and other gentlemen obtained the charter for that road, and we promised to guar- antee an amount sufficient to pay the interest on their bonds, providing that stations be lo- cated and soutuern connections be completed That plan had fallen through. On the contra- ty, the Baltimore and Ohio road had especial. desired to avoid any interest in the Junction road. He agreed with Mr. Scott that ‘TON WAS A GREAT CITY, WASHIN and was to be one of the greatest in the country Therefore, he thought there should be some general system in regard to the railroads.
